Sumpetar,
another one of the settlements situated along the Adriatic coast
between Split and Omis is merged with its neighbours : Mali Rat in
the east and Suhi Potok in the west.

The majority of its houses are
piling up on the southern side of the Perun mountain and a small
minority below the main Adriatic road on the seaside.

Sumpetar
was named after the Benedictine monastery, built in the 11th century
by Petar Crni Gumajev, dedicated to St. Peter. In the vicinity of St.
Peter, in the settlement's cemetery with a compelling view there is a
medieval chapel Sustipan (St. Stephen).

BEACHES

Sumpetar's
pebble and gravel beaches stretching along the whole town are well
equipped and maintained.

ACCOMMODATION

Accommodation
is mainly offered in private houses and apartments as well in
pensions.

SHOPPING

Almost
all vacation items and food can be bought locally in the groceries
and shops on the road. Bigger purchase and shopping is available in
Dugi Rat, Omis or Split.

SMALL PORT

As
Sumpetar's harbor primarily serves as a winter stationary for tourist
boats they occupy its larger part. During the tourist season it is a
starting point for various boat excursions and cruises. However,
there is a possibility to temporarily berth in their absence

HIKING

Mountain
lovers and promenaders could explore the roads and paths on the
Poljicka Planina easily reachable from the coast.

Up the slope, at
some 250 m, there are four old stone villages, good examples of the
old rural architecture to discover. Zeljovici is located above
Sumpetar and Suhi Potok. Stare Jesenice is more in the west and Krug
and Stare Duce are in the east. Connected with an old local road
these villages are very accessible and provides a nice promenade with
a panoramic view of the Adriatic and its islands.

Also, looking from the mountain at this overbuilt coast, with the
continuous chains of houses stretching for kilometers, it is hard to
imagine that some 80 years ago it was not inhabited and that these
villages nowadays abandoned were full of life.

FOR WHO?

Situated
between Omis and Split along the Magistral, the main coastal road
Sumpetar is suitable for tranquil vacations with the possibility of
making quick day-trips to the surrounding area.
